Among functions $f$ majorized by indicator functions $1_E$, which functions have maximal ratio $\|\widehat{f}\|_q/|E|^{1/p}$? We establish a quantitative answer to this question for exponents $q$ sufficiently close to even integers,…

Let $(X,\mathcal{B}, \mu, T)$ be an ergodic dynamical system on a non-atomic finite measure space. We assume without loss of generality that $\mu(X)=1.$ Consider the maximal function $\dis R^*:(f, g) \in L^p\times L^q \to R^*(f, g)(x) =…

Given a finite sequence $a:={a_1, ..., a_N}$ in a domain $\Omega \subset C^n$, and complex scalars $v:={v_1, ..., v_N}$, consider the classical extremal problem of finding the smallest uniform norm of a holomorphic function verifying…

We introduce a new technique for solving uni-parametric versions of linear programs, convex quadratic programs, and linear complementarity problems in which a single parameter is permitted to be present in any of the input data. We…

We establish new results of first-order necessary conditions of optimality for finite-dimensional problems with inequality constraints and for problems with equality and inequality constraints, in the form of John's theorem and in the form…

Given integers $r > t \ge 1$ and a real number $p > 0$, the $(t,p)$-norm $\left\lVert \mathcal{H} \right\rVert_{t,p}$ of an $r$-graph $\mathcal{H}$ is the sum of the $p$-th power of the degrees $d_{\mathcal{H}}(T)$ over all $t$-subsets $T…

We present simple compact proofs of the strong and weak duality theorems of tropical linear programming. It follows that there is no duality gap for a pair of tropical primal-dual problems. This result together with known properties of…

We derive an asymptotic expansion with effective error bound for $u(n)$, counting the number of unimodal sequences of size $n$. We prove that $u(n)$ satisfies the higher order Tur\'{a}n inequalities for $n\geq33$ and that certain second…

Submodularity is a fundamental phenomenon in combinatorial optimization. Submodular functions occur in a variety of combinatorial settings such as coverage problems, cut problems, welfare maximization, and many more. Therefore, a lot of…

In this paper, we develop and study algorithms for approximately solving the linear algebraic systems: $\mathcal{A}_h^\alpha u_h = f_h$, $ 0< \alpha <1$, for $u_h, f_h \in V_h$ with $V_h$ a finite element approximation space. Such problems…

In recent years some near-optimal estimates have been established for certain sum-product type estimates. This paper gives some first extremal results which provide information about when these bounds may or may not be tight. The main tool…

We present an algorithm producing all rational functions $f$ with prescribed $n+1$ Taylor coefficients at the origin and such that $\|f\|_\infty\le 1$ and $\deg f\le k$ for every fixed $k\ge n$. The case where $k<n$ is also discussed.

We study the generalized Tur\'an function $ex(n,H,F)$, when $H$ or $F$ is $K_{2,t}$. We determine the order of magnitude of $ex(n,H,K_{2,t})$ when $H$ is a tree, and determine its asymptotics for a large class of trees. We also determine…

This paper is concerned with the two--phase obstacle problem, a type of a variational free boundary problem. We recall the basic estimates of Repin and Valdman (2015) and verify them numerically on two examples in two space dimensions. A…

Let $E$ be a Jordan rectifiable curve in the complex plane and let $G$ be the bounded component of $\mathbb{C}\backslash E$. Now let $n\in \mathbb{N}$, and let $m_{n,E}$ denote the extremal constants defined by \begin{equation*}m_{n,E}=\inf…

Symmetric submodular functions are an important family of submodular functions capturing many interesting cases including cut functions of graphs and hypergraphs. Maximization of such functions subject to various constraints receives little…

We prove that if $f(n)$ is a Steinhaus or Rademacher random multiplicative function, there almost surely exist arbitrarily large values of $x$ for which $|\sum_{n \leq x} f(n)| \geq \sqrt{x} (\log\log x)^{1/4+o(1)}$. This is the first such…

We prove necessary and sufficient conditions for the weak-$L^p$ boundedness, for $p \in (1,\infty)$, of a maximal operator on the infinite-dimensional torus. In the endpoint case $p=1$ we obtain the same weak-type inequality enjoyed by the…

Error bounds have been studied for more than seventy years, beginning with the seminal result of Hoffman (1952) [{\it J. Res. Natl. Bur. Standards}, 49 (1952), 263--265], which establishes an upper bound for the distance from an arbitrary…
